One of the favorite things to eat this time of year (at least in my house) are candy canes. The kids I know and love tend to get especially excited about the idea of eating the red and white sugary treat that is shaped like a shepherd’s crook. Now I know that books at the library aren’t something to eat (unless you are a baby who tends to eat everything…); however, they can be a treat to read with a loved one. Also, there are a lot of fun picture books with red and white covers that have come out this past year. Therefore, I have made a list of five favorite picture books with red or white covers—and put them in candy cane color order as if they were a booklist treat for the holidays. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
